Well, it was going good up until you implied the blockchain is going to rid the world of ills. There are plenty of accusations on here from people this site was mined in advanced, if it were meant to be fair, balanced and un- corrupted everyone would have started out on equal footing and achieved according to their ability like everyone else. Just like the claim there are no middle men...but there are and they do get their cut just like middlemen in the real world, their known as witnesses. No matter what way you look at it there's always someone in the middle somehow. Then there's the near improbability that the average person is going to come on here and find themselves becoming millionaires by accumulating pennies when the deck is/has been stacked against them. Sure there's a lot you can do when it comes to data and truth and it being preserved forever but eliminating corruption and collusion isn't going to cut it on every angle.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
DLTs aren't necessarily tokenized. Steem is an example of a DLT, but a DLT to collect, store, and provide access to surveillance data wouldn't necessarily require a token, nor premining even if it did.
Neither do I think even the elimination of corrupt public officials and thugs would rid the world of ills.
The underlying reality of technology is that it changes things, and it is unpredictable how those changes iterate beyond the short term, or how they impact other things that are changing. We can have some idea, but no certainty. Technology ultimately increases the power of individuals relative to groups. This includes improving known means of production, from food, clothes, hardware, tools, and every other good you can name. Various technologies are now making it possible for you personally to make those things I just listed yourself, grow your food yourself, and build your home and car yourself, even if you're not a farmer, seamstress, machinist, carpenter, or mechanic. Automation and improved process technology (or business systems) is reducing middlemen, and I believe that this will be complete sooner or later.
When we can make all the stuff we need ourselves, why will we need pennies?
All these technologies are happening at the same time, not one after the other. The disparate increases in our power are going to concatenate, and at some point the effects on markets, money, politics, and war become so strong that I believe all those things will become obsolete.
Not today, not tomorrow, not next year, but sooner or later. In the mean time, as we adopt and employ these technologies our prosperity, freedom, and felicity will increase as a result.
That's good enough for me.
Will all this come with a do it yourself kit the government will give everyone so that all are self sustaining?
LOL
I'll hold my breath until then.
We are the product of billions of years of parsing by evolutionary forces. Government is an evolutionary force. So is technology. Each of us determines how those forces act upon us by acting.
